U.S. should leave Afghanistan to the Taliban

In response to Larry Porter's June 20 letter regarding the Taliban not respecting women's rights, I do not care what the Taliban does. They are not a threat to the United States. It is time for the United States to return full sovereignty to the Afghan people and leave. Nothing we do will change the way those people live. We have spent billions of dollars trying to pacify a country that has been at war for more than 40 years. It is time for the U.S. to start taking care of its own problems and to stop trying to be the police force of the entire world.
